'It reminded me all over again of why I threw up everything for the
magic of La Belle France' Carol Drinkwater, author of The Olive
Farm 'Warm and vivid and beautiful' Trevor Dolby, author of One,
Place de l'Eglise 'An utterly beguiling immersion in La France
Profonde, keenly observed and beautifully told' Felicity Cloake,
author of One More Croissant for the Road The Charente: roofs of
red terracotta tiles, bleached-white walls, windows shuttered
against the blaring sun. The baker does his rounds in his battered
little white van with a hundred warm baguettes in the back, while a
cat picks its way past a Romanesque church, the sound of bells
skipping across miles of rolling, glorious countryside. For many
years a farmer in England, John Lewis-Stempel yearned once again to
live in a landscape where turtle doves purr and nightingales sing,
as they did almost everywhere in his childhood. He wanted to be
self-sufficient, to make his own wine and learn the secrets of
truffle farming. And so, buying an old honey-coloured limestone
house with bright blue shutters, the Lewis-Stempels began their new
life as peasant farmers. Over that first year, Lewis-Stempel fell
in love with the French countryside, from the wild boar that trot
past the kitchen window to the glow-worms and citronella candles
that flicker in the evening garden. Although it began as a
practical enterprise, it quickly became an affair of the heart: of
learning to bite the end off the morning baguette; taking two hours
for lunch; in short, living the good life - or as the French say,
La Vie.
_________________ 'BRITAIN'S FINEST LIVING NATURE WRITER' - THE
TIMES WINNER OF THE THWAITES WAINWRIGHT PRIZE 2015 What really goes
on in the long grass? Meadowland gives an unique and intimate
account of an English meadow's life from January to December,
together with its biography. In exquisite prose, John Lewis-Stempel
records the passage of the seasons from cowslips in spring to the
hay-cutting of summer and grazing in autumn, and includes the
biographies of the animals that inhabit the grass and the soil
beneath: the badger clan, the fox family, the rabbit warren,the
skylark brood and the curlew pair, among others. Their births,
lives, and deaths are stories that thread through the book from
first page to last.
